| I am currently on the pump and have no problems skipping meals (sometimes all day) without adjusting my basil rate unless I doing more physical activity than uaual.
I think he'll be fine too. The pump is what is going to make this easier. I agree with Subby that a few shorter fasts will help determine his individual reaction to fasting and being on insulin. The good thing is that juice and rice are both good sources of carbs in case he starts to go low.
I think a lot of the rhetoric we've heard about eating at the same time every day, etc. is more true for type 2 people than type 1. That is not to say that people should not be on a regular eating schedule.

And now I'm on my knees again

Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many feel this way
